Davis Torgerson  | Lookbook Defined

Davis Torgerson | Lookbook Defined

As skateboarders, hometown pride is undeniable. The spots you grow up skating, your crew, the scene. These things shape not just your skating, but the person you become and the memories that stick with you. For Davis Torgerson the hometown is Minneapolis, Minnesota and the memories are countless. From the curbs he grew up skating, to Familia Skateshop, Davis always welcomes the opportunity to visit home, recharge, and escape the hustle of life in Los Angeles. Buy the ticket and ride as Davis takes us back to the place where it all started.The place he calls home. 

The 'Defined By' lookbook series takes a glimpse into DC's diverse personalities by capturing them doing whatever it is they love while wearing only whatever it is they love. 

CPH | Open Day 3

CPH | Open Day 3

The third day of CPH OPEN madness got everyone down to the canal for some serious early afternoon wake up.
The Christian IV’s Bro triple set is no joke, sitting on the edge of the canal there are more hazards in this make than there are cobble stones in the run up. With an excess of 50+ meters of sprint needed to get enough speed to clear the 2 flat 2 flat 4, skaters had to contend with drain covers, cracks, stones, bikes and a 300 strong crowd that is more reminiscent of the final stages of the Tour de France before they even get to stair set. The short landing right on the canal edge meant that even if you caught a trick there was no guarantee that you weren’t going swimming. The perfect combination for a good session and a treat for skaters and river cruises that we blessed to see Youness Amrani’s bangging hard flip, an over stoked front shuv from Gabriel Fortunato and a switch heel from Neverton Casella. TJ Rogers gets a shout for an unreal switch front 360 ollie that was outside the allotted time.

Being on the canal the transport to the next spot was via the ‘champagne love boats’, 2 river barges thumping out music and packed full of the best skaters in the world. A 30 min journey to an abandoned warehouse set up with 2 simple ledges on a loading bay and some of the best ledge crushers in the biz. 
The session was an exercise of head messing wizardry with TJ taking a nollie crook to fakie and switch bigspin heel flip in the line only to be nudged into 2nd spot by a super consistent Luan who was knocking out back to back lines - Switch back 5.0 180 to switch kick flip nose grind and Back tail fakie, fakie hard flip to fakie tail slide.

CPH | Open Day 2

CPH | Open Day 2

The second day of the mighty CPH OPEN and it was back to the streets for an afternoon of shutdown and roadblock Copenhagen style.
First stop was the Open Ledge Session at ‘Jarmers Plads’, the OG CPH spot in the city was rammed on a sunny day for some serious attack. Although the ground is deceptively rough the quality of skating in the 10 minute jams was nothing but world class from all competitors.

The journey to the next spot was an event in itself with 500 skaters crusing on bikes led by a sound system in true carnival fashion pack like through the city stoking out everyone it passed.
With everything now legit in skateboarding, session 2 consisted of a long flat rail and 2 jump ramps for 100% old school fly off session. At first confusing some of the younger skaters they we soon set right by a demonstration of style and elegance from Alex Olson by means of Christ Airs and tweaked Japans. With the whole road shut down block party style, skaters needed to hit both the rail and ramp to be in with a chance of some money and the all important ticket to the finals a the CPH Skatepark tomorrow.

Nomad Skateboards | North-Bound

Nomad Skateboards | North-Bound

NOMAD SKATEBOARDS y KRID COLLECTIVE llevan colaborando años, el resultado ha quedado plasmado en varias colecciones y una gran amistad. Este verano presentan un nuevo proyecto en conjunto: NOMAD NORTH BOUND!
NORTH BOUND empezó como un proyecto personal de Cristoph Zedler con la intención de emprender un viaje en furgoneta de su casa en Basel, Suiza, hacia el norte a Arvidsjaur, Suecia, donde se quedaría durante un mes trabajando en Wildact Adventure Tours antes de volver a casa. Con el objetivo de difundir el amor por el arte y el skateboarding, y con muchos kilómetros por delante, pensaron que sería buena idea parar en varias ciudades para exhibir colaboraciones espontáneas con tiendas y asociaciones de Skate.
“Nomad studio” está equipado con una instalación de serigrafía móvil para impresión directa en tablas de Skate y textil. Todos los enamorados del arte, diseño y del Skate tendrán la oportunidad de ver el proceso de diseño e impresión in-situ, conocer a Chris, y por supuesto compartir unos tragos y sesiones con él.
Chris colaborará con toda la gente que encuentre durante este viaje, diseñando desde un concepto original hasta su materialización en tablas y camisetas, creando una experiencia inolvidable. Adicionalmente van a regalar material durante cada parada, y tendrás la oportunidad de ganar una tabla única que será diseñada e impresa durante todo el viaje.
La aventura será documentada para hacerte partícipe de la experiencia a través de su página web y perfiles de Facebook, Instagram y Twitter.

Nike SB Euro Series | London AM Finals

Nike SB Euro Series | London AM Finals


Finals 2016 London AM  

 

Sunday’s semi finals and finals of the Nike SB London AM at BaySixty6 Skatepark proved yet again that the level of amateur skateboarding in Europe is simply off the hook. Super intense heats in the semis kept the crowd and judges struggling to decide which 15 out of the 60 competitors would make the cut. 
Fast, clean lines with next level tricks across the whole park set the benchmark and gave a solid promise to the crowded sidelines that the finals were going to be special.

After a heavy weekend of skating in this large flowing park, finalists needed to dig deep to keep focus and Vincent Milou did both to claim third by way of back smith round the curved ledge and a 270 ollie to front lip on the flat bar.

Taking second spot was Kevin Baekkel, whose attack on the transitions were taken at mach ten. Mixing old school boosted airs with a seeming desire to hit every feature in the park, his loose but powerful flow got him a 2nd on the podium.

At just 18, Aurelien Giraud from France was unstoppable, precision and catch was text book, landing a huge backside flip the entire length of the pyramid, a tre double flip down the stairs and BS 270 noseblunt on the flat bar with a consistency that defied belief. On top of the €3000 for first place, Aurelien will be travelling to the Berlin Open in July to compete against some of Europe’s premier pros at the  Nike SB Shelter skatepark.

1st Aurelien Girauld 2nd Kevin Baekkel 3rd Vincent Milou

The next stop on the Nike SB European Series touches down in Paris where the famous street spot Le Dome, at the Palais de Tokyo, gets treated to 9 additional skateable features 14th – 15th June.
